Ice Skating

Shantelle was feeling very ambitious over our spring break and talked me into going ice skating with her.  We used our pass to get free skating. We only had to pay $1.50 to rent skates so it was a bargain!  I stayed off the ice and held Lillian while Shantelle braved the ice with Chase, Bridger, and Aliyah.  It was Bridger and Aliyah's first time skating and they did great!!!!  After holding on to the sides for a couple of times around, Bridger was off on his own and was staying up with Chase.  I couldn't believe him!!!  Chase had only been one other time but he did amazing too!

Towards the end, Lilly started to melt down if she saw Shantelle.  So I just tried to hide from her.  Aliyah got tired and came a rested her legs for a little bit.  Shantelle took Chase out and tried to teach him the tricks that mom used to do with us.  A lady was sitting next to me and she asked if Shantelle was a professional.  She and I had a good laugh over that one!!!!

They skated for about 90 minutes which was perfect.  By the end, everyone was tired.  When we first got there, it was really busy but the last hour the crowd cleared out and by the end it was almost empty.  It was a fun afternoon!!!!
